Question

Use synthetic division to determine which of the following is a factor of
6X^4 - X^3 - 66x^2 + 121X - 60
a. (X-5/2)
b. (X+3/2)
c. (X+1)
d. (X-4)

Use synthetic division to determine which of the following is a factor of
7X^4 - 8X^3 - 167X^2 - 228X +36
a. (X-1/7)
b. (X-3)
c. (X+6)
d. (X-2)

Answer 1

Answer: none of the given options is a factor of these polynomials.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: 6X^4 - X^3 - 66X^2 + 121X - 60 = (3X−5)(2X−3)(X+4)(X−1)

Second: 7X^4 - 8X^3 - 167X^2 - 228X + 36 = (7X−1)(X−6)(X+3)(X+2)
